1"Your honor, in our remarks at the opening of this trial, we foreshadowed our purpose to prove that our client did this
2fearful deed while under the influence of a blind and irresponsible delirium produced by drink. We have changed our
3mind. We shall not offer that plea." [Then to the clerk:] "Call Thomas Sawyer!" A puzzled amazement awoke in every face
4in the house, not even excepting Potter's. Every eye fastened itself with wondering interest upon Tom as he rose and
5took his place upon the stand. The boy looked wild enough, for he was badly scared. The oath was administered. "Thomas
6Sawyer, where were you on the seventeenth of June, about the hour of midnight?" Tom glanced at Injun Joe's iron face and
7his tongue failed him. The audience listened breathless, but the words refused to come. After a few moments, however,
8the boy got a little of his strength back, and managed to put enough of it into his voice to make part of the house

10smile flitted across Injun Joe's face. "Were you anywhere near Horse Williams' grave?" "Yes, sir." "Speak up--just a
11trifle louder. How near were you?" "Near as I am to you." "Were you hidden, or not?" "I was hid." "Where?" "Behind the
12elms that's on the edge of the grave." Injun Joe gave a barely perceptible start. "Any one with you?" "Yes, sir. I went

14Did you carry anything there with you." Tom hesitated and looked confused. "Speak out, my boy--don't be diffident. The
15truth is always respectable. What did you take there?" "Only a--a--dead cat." There was a ripple of mirth, which the
16court checked. "We will produce the skeleton of that cat. Now, my boy, tell us everything that occurred--tell it in your
17own way--don't skip anything, and don't be afraid." Tom began--hesitatingly at first, but as he warmed to his subject
18his words flowed more and more easily; in a little while every sound ceased but his own voice; every eye fixed itself
19upon him; with parted lips and bated breath the audience hung upon his words, taking no note of time, rapt in the
20ghastly fascinations of the tale. The strain upon pent emotion reached its climax when the boy said: "--and as the
21doctor fetched the board around and Muff Potter fell, Injun Joe jumped with the knife and--" Crash! Quick as lightning
